Iron Eyes
I had a major disaster. My G-tech Raid drive had a crash and I lost my edits as well as raw footage. My brother is visiting from Kentucky, I take him to to City Light bookstore and find a corner to shed some silent tears. I see a book, called Iron Eyes, an account of an Obaku Zen master Tetsugen Doko. His personal mission was to complete a wood block edition of the Chinese Buddhist scriptures in Japan. Legend has it that Tetsugen had to raise the money for the project three times in 18 years: twice his great compassion led him to give away the money he had raised to the starving victims of natural disasters.
and here I am crying about a crashed hard drive. Shame on me.
